Book Description
Design Against Crime will aid the design profession to meet the challenges presented by the competing needs and complex systems around crime and security. It proposes that designers should use their creative talents to develop innovative solutions to security problems that contribute to the ongoing fight against crime. The authors first explain the design against crime approach to security and security. They go on to provide practical advice on addressing crime and insecurity within the design process and offer practical examples of design being applied to security and safety. They also examine crime victimisation from a global perspective, highlighting the benefits worldwide of reducing opportunities for crime, including issues of national security, such as terrorism and natural disasters. A design-led, human-centred approach provides a way forward that is both aspirational and practical. The book is aimed primarily at design professionals, educators and students interested in safety and security, from all design disciplines, including product design, architecture, service design and communication design. The book should also be read by crime prevention experts, planners, local authorities, managers of urban environments and policymakers.

Book Description
The book begins with a survey of crime trends, levels of different kinds of crime, related social issues and the resulting costs, both human and financial, that design can help to reduce. Part 1 continues by weighing up more and less traditional approaches to crime prevention, whether they be police led (detection, punishment and treatment), planning led, spatially led (through Space Syntax principles, for example), or community led. The authors then explain how the Design Against Crime initiative has developed from security-focused design solutions to more proactive design-led approaches to crime reduction. Part 2 presents examples of design solutions to crime problems in the form of case studies explaining the processes used and the resulting benefits. Examples include both products and environments: seating, bus shelters, tamperproof containers, personal safety devices, window blinds, housing and multistorey car parks, amongst others. In Part 3 Design against Crime steps back to draw together lessons and guidelines from the case studies and related research, formulating a design process for addressing crime through design. The authors evaluate the different methodologies used in both local and national contexts. The last two chapters define future drivers and suggest ways in which legislation and market-driven approaches are required to cope with future problems, including terrorism and crime related to new technologies.

Book Description
In these diatribes on the marketing of culture and the branding of identity, the development of spectacle—architecture and the rise of global cities, Hal Foster surveys our new political economy of design. Written in a lively style, Design and Crime explores the historical relations of modern art and modern museum, the conceptual vicissitudes of art history and visual studies, the recent travails of art criticism, and the double aftermath of modernism and postmodernism in an attempt to illuminate the conditions for critical culture in the present.

Book Description
The concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has undergone dramatic changes over the last several decades since C. Ray Jeffery coined the term in the early 1970s, and Tim Crowe wrote the first CPTED applications book. The second edition of 21st Century Security and CPTED includes the latest theory, knowledge, and practice of

Book Description
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a practice-oriented approach to reduce the risk of offences such as burglary and fear of crime by modifying the built environment. In recent years, this approach has been criticised for duplicating terminology and for failing to integrate successfully with other approaches. Rebuilding Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design explores and extends the common ground between CPTED and situational crime prevention - another traditional approach in the field of crime prevention and security - via the latter's evolution into the field of crime science. Drawing on international research to develop new interdisciplinary perspectives, this volume explores how situational crime prevention and environmental criminological theories relate to those of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design and considers how crime science can be reformulated to merge different approaches, or at least articulate them better. Rebuilding Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design will appeal to students, applied academic researchers and practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and contribute in turn to the ongoing revitalisation of the field.

Book Description
This paper explores the principles, technologies and issues relating to crime reduction through product design. The author outlines current product design technologies aimed at reducing theft and unlawful use, fraud, counterfeiting and copyright infringements, tampering, and graffiti and vandalism. The paper also discusses considerations such as user acceptance, design effectiveness and crime displacement. The author concludes that product design will become an increasingly widespread means of protecting assets and reducing crime.
